I don't know what TJ Klune puts in these books that makes them so hard to put down, but I listened to almost this entire thing yesterday. What I like about this series is that way that Klune weaves in backstory to characters we've already come to love in each book, giving us a more rounded view of this found family as a whole. Plus, the narration in the audiobook is just so good!

Enjoyed it a bit more than the first one! What I disliked is that the characters are all written very similarly in terms of their voices (ie Ox and Geordi’s inner monologues and their reactions to situations are very similar). It feels like TJ has developed a lot as a writer since then.
